The best foods to eat before you run

The best fuel for exercise is a combination of carbohydrate, protein and healthy fat to provide you with the energy and nutrition which your body needs.

Examples of great pre run meals include all bran cereal with almond milk, chicken sandwich on wholemeal bread, sweet potato with lentils or brown toast with honey.

Foods with a high gi, such as sports drinks, are more risky as you’re likely to have a spike in blood sugar followed by a crash or dip later on.
